  2. Objectives: 1. To prove that the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides it into two right triangles, each similar to the original. 2. To define and apply geometric means. 3. To compute lengths of sides and related segments for right triangles by using proportions.

  3. Theorem 13.4 An altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse of a right triangle separates the original triangle into two similar triangles, each of which is similar to the original triangle.

  5. In the proportion , notice that the denominator of one ratio is the same as the numerator of the other ratio. When this happens, x is called the geometric mean. a x = x b

  7. 3 x = x 27 EXAMPLE 1 Find the geometric mean between 3 and 27. x2 = 81 x =  81 x = 9

  8. 6 x = x 9 EXAMPLE 2 Find the geometric mean between 6 and 9. x2 = 54 x =  54 x = 3 6

  9. 5 x = x 25 x = ± 125 x = 5 5 Practice: Find the geometric mean between 5 and 25. x2 = 125 ≈ 11.2

  10. Practice: Find the geometric mean between 12 and 20.

  11. Theorem 13.5 In a right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse cuts the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

  13. Theorem 13.6 In a right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments such that the length of a leg is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the leg.
